PARKING AT CENTRAL LIBRARY

We regret to inform you that we can no longer offer free parking to our customers at Central Library. You will find an explanation of public parking options here, and an interactive map of pay lots in the downtown area here.

WHAT'S IN YOUR DNA?

Thanks to all of you who helped make our program on Saturday (8-15-2015) such a success! Nearly 100 of you turned out to listen to our speaker, Janelle Cloud of FamilyTreeDNA, talk about genetic genealogy in general and the tests her company provides in particular. Many of you purchased tests, and we hope that you'll share any discoveries of interest with us.

Some people were unable to register for this class, and we really do feel for you. Some good news, however--Ms. Cloud left us some vouchers that you can use to get a discount on FamilyTreeDNA tests. The supply of vouchers is limited, however, and there is a deadline for placing your order--22 August 2015. The vouchers are only available at Central Library in the Genealogy Room, and will be distributed strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.

Thanks for your interest in our programs!

GET A ROOM!

Did you know that your organization or group can rent Central Library (well, probably not the whole enormous building--more likely a small but impressive section of it)?
